Covid-19
As the variants continue to evolve, some Washington D.C. sites that no longer require proof of Covid-19 vaccination may alter their policies and entry requirements. Knowing this is a possibility, and that it would inhibit your participation in the trip once in Washington D.C., we recommend all Intersections participants be fully vaccinated (2 doses of Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca) or Johnson & Johnson shot, at least 2 weeks before the beginning of the trip. We encourage a booster shot as well. Mask requirements vary by site, so we advise participants bring a KN95 or N95 mask. The final itinerary is dependent on the availability of site openings due to Covid-19.
